If staying away for more than a few days, try to sleep and eat at the destination times.

On arrival

Avoid critical tasks shortly after arrival.

If needed during the day, take a short nap, about 40 minutes long – any longer may make you more fatigued.

For short-stay trips (less than 72 hours) it may be better to stick to a home-time schedule. When staying longer, try to sleep at the local time, even if you are not feeling tired. Outdoor light exposure and gentle exercise may speed up the adjustment.

Short-acting sleeping pills may help to adjust sleep patterns but should be used only in accordance with medical advice. (See your doctor)
